“Angels and Demons” And Peter Kreeft

This is not Dan Brown’s book. “Angels and Demons” is a book by Peter Kreeft (Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 1995), which is a summary of his course on “Angels, Devils, Ghosts, and Miracles” at Boston College. Angelogy for Kreeft is a science, with data provided by the Bible and human experience.

Kreeft admits that his work in 90 percent unoriginal, for “as medieval philosophers loved to say, even dwarfs can see far if they have the good sense and humility to climb up onto the shoulders of giants–like Moses and Jesus and Augustine and Aquinas and saints and mystics.”

But most of Kreeft’s analysis is taken from the angelic doctor himself, St. Thomas Aquinas.
